Fetish:
"1. An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices.
2. An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence.
3. Something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body, that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification.
4. An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation."
Perhaps you've seen the TV show Trading Spaces. Maybe you've toured the Alden B. Dow home and studio in Midland, Michigan:
"The Alden B. Dow Home & Studio, a National Historic Landmark in Midland, Michigan, was designed by Alden B. Dow in 1933. Alden Dow (1904-1983), an organic architect and student of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed for 50 years throughout the United States. His Home & Studio has been preserved for architectural study, educational programming and is the repository of Mr. Dow's architectural records. Tours are available February through December...an experience you will never forget!"
People love their homes, don't they? Much time spent mowing lawns and landscaping around the porch, right? It's almost an orgasmic experience.
But why?
Why are we so obsesed with well-designed homes? Are we in it for the aesthetics? Are we looking to boost the value of our home? Are we trapped in an Olmesteadian nightmare? Or do we want our own Versailles, to be the king or queen of our little plot of dirt?
We're obsessed!
